modest: [16] Etymologically, modest means ‘kept within due measure’. It comes via French from Latin modestus, a derivative of the same source as produced English moderate. This was *modes-, a close relative of Latin modus ‘measure’ (from which English gets mode and model).
=> mode, model - modest (adj.)
- 1560s, "having moderate self-regard," from Middle French modeste (14c.), from Latin modestus "keeping due measure" (see modesty). Of women, "not improper or lewd," 1590s; of female attire, 1610s. Of demands, etc., c. 1600. Related: Modestly.
